Default Break-in on a 2-stroke????

Hello,
I've just got a new top-end and crank-bearings in my kx125 and want to know the proper way to break it in. I've read about breaking them in hard but I'm not so sure it applys to two strokes, does it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Two strokes are not as critical on ring break-in as a four stroke. Make sure you get it up to operating temp before you start to ride it hard. If the machine shop did it's job right there is no reason you can't ride it hard for the start.

Ps: I like your pictures. Looks like a cool place to live and ride.

As already said get it up to temp. and you can ride it hard just don't try to ring its guts out. I usually give mine a couple of hours(of break in) then ride it like I always do.
